IN: the most hostile Adelaide Oval crowd in the history of footy

Because of the ticketing system, 15k will probably be collingwood fans

The Cartel.

I like how I’m at the front.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Long range forecast looks like good weather, let's hope it's not like today.

Listening to ROB, doubt Rach is playing first final, bugger.

Changes:

Bond out Max in

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

No one seriously thought Rash would be back. If we win then expect to see him in the prelim

I think it is possible for Rash to play in the SANFL in week 2 of their finals.

If we win against Collingwood and the SANFL is still in it then he can play in the SANFL preliminary final.Then come in for the AFL preliminary final.

If we lose to Collingwood then we bring him in for the home semi-final.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We've downplayed Rachele's return date from the beginning. Very low key, cautious, non-committal.

Almost... suspiciously cautious in fact. All singing from the same hymn sheet.

I think we're playing games and he'll be back Finals Week 1 baby

He's coming back imo.

 

[Crows I Am]

Thoughts on Rachele as the super Sub?

ROB was on 5AA this afternoon and was asked about Rachele, he mentioned he thinks he is still a little way of returning. Sounds like week 2 or 3 of finals is more likely.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Murphy to come back in on Daicos.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Murphy to come back in on Daicos.

Given the great job he did surely it’s a foregone conclusion

 

[MrBarry]

Did he do a great job?

 

[cleanhands]

Murphy to come back in on Daicos.

Thought I made that clear to you in your SANFL post

 

[George CantStandYa]

Did he do a great job?

No

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

 

[Go the Guts]

Any chance we hard tag Daicos this time?

Specifically Nick! We did pretty good on Josh 2 weeks ago.

I still feel like curbing his uncontested game dries up their ball movement.

His tank is unbelievable, who do we have who can go with that?

 

[Go the Guts]

Thank you. Some Adelaide fans have lost the plot. May the best team on the day win. If that is Adelaide so be it you will have deserved it. But some of the threats on this board are beyond the pale.

Well here’s a thought. Don’t come on this board! We can say what we like on our board, exactly as some of your mob have said on your board!

 

[Cyclonus]

Keays.

 

[Go the Guts]

Keays.

Done then!

Just no mentioning Lazarus please Josh.

 

[Not Darryl Moss]

Let's get our game up and going early and get the job done. Temped to start Smith on the bench as he can do damage. Pedlar as sub?

Can't risk Pedlar. Don't trust his fragile body to get through a final.
